Splash Park

The Vision

To build a first class SPLASH PARK in Rockdale, adjacent to the Patterson Center, that will become an engine for economic development for the community and increase utilization of the Center.

The Splash Park will serve:

Toddlers

Families

Teenagers

The Splash Park will aid economic development for the Community:

The vision is that this splash park will be of such high quality and so unique to central Texas that people will come from a wide area to use the facility and, while here, eat at our restaurants, stay in our hotels, and shop our stores.

It is also thought that this splash park, being adjacent to the Patterson Center, will result in a greater utilization of that facility.

The Splash Park will serve teenagers:

It is envisioned that there will be a coin operated jukebox at the park whose music will be choreographed with lights and water action. The park will be open evenings exclusively for the teenagers. A place to hang out.

Notes

The water used to supply this splash park will be re-used after filtration and ultra-violet sterilization.

Restrooms and changing areas will be a part of this project

Shaded observation areas will be a part of this project.

It is anticipated that this splash park will be open from Memorial Day through Labor Day each year.
